In Memory of My Beloved Husband
Drowned Oct 20 1896
Myrtle Point Enterprise November 14, 1896
The body of John Norman, who was lost in the wreck of the Arago, was found on the ocean beach about 200 yards from the point on the seawall where the stage turns off to go up to Gardiner, by two men named Smith Taylor and Wm. Neely, who were walking up the Umpqua. One of them went up to Ten Mile and notified Geo. Lighthall, and they brought the remains here last evening on the Comet.
The corpse is badly disfigured, so much so that he is scarcely recognizable except by his clothing and a couple of rings which were on his fingers. The funeral will take place Saturday morning at 10:00, from the corner of B and Front streets.
Mr. Norman came to the Bay in 1866 and in early days worked very hard and by judicious investments accumulated quite a neat fortune. He was formerly owner of the land on which Beaver Hill now stands and the mine. He was a native of Norway and was sixty-three years old a few days prior to his death. The community expresses much sympathy for his wife. This makes four bodies recovered out of a total of fourteen drowned.
